To pass through the Academy, students will need to show a number of competencies such as accuracy, coordination, precision, assertiveness, decision-making, strategic thinking, teamwork, fear management and the ability to keep calm under pressure.
There are also a number of James Bond lifestyle activities, which include driving in an Aston Martin; learning how to make the perfect martini on a glacier; drinking Bollinger; eating caviar and flying in private jets.
Thrill-seeking individuals wanting to immerse themselves fully into the life of a secret agent can undertake all activities as part of a bespoke SPOOKS ACADEMY SPECIAL WEEKEND, and for those wishing to dip their toe into the secret agent lifestyle, you can book each activity individually.
